Whenever medical providers use one of those kits on me, I request to have all of it given to me. The scissors, tweezers and hemostat make nice additions to my toolbox in addition to the cloth. They typically discard everything in the kit. Most do give it to me. I need to stop injuring myself and needing sutures.

Cheaper to but towels, than to get "free" ones, your way! Less painful, too!The amount of waste, in medicine, is sinful. The dings on my scalp, from dumpster diving, for 40 years of hospital employment, have just finished healing, after several years of retirement! Still have a reasonable stash of supplies. Ed
